I can think of one really good reason to know IL -
in 2.0 you can use the DynamicMethod class to generate functions
on the fly and attach them to assemblies - rates 10 on the coolness scale!
think about the first WHERE clause - top 250 < x
starts with first record so you get 1 .. 250. This suggests you
should use an ORDER BY in the first select to reverse the sort order.
a) get the char index of the line by sending message EM_LINEINDEX
b) set the selection to that point in the control (or the whole line EM_LINELENGTH) with EM_SETSEL or Select(int index, int lenght)
a million lines of code ? man! that's some complex form.
and either you've been cranking out a thousand lines of code day
for the last three years or you've resorted to 'other methods', best
not described in polite company.
noticed that too - real slow down on start up. didn't turn on the fire wall (probably noticed ZoneAlarm) - the only real groans of agony seem to come from the malicious
hacker corner.
